Bachelor of Arts (BA) Degree Completion Program

About this programme

The Degree Completion Program (DCP) is a non-traditional program specifically designed for adults who want to complete a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree but who are unable to attend traditional semester programs. Students with initial transfer credit can be enrolled into the Degree Completion Program. † Estimated time to complete: 3-4 years Total credit hours: 120 including transfer credits Applicants must be 25 years or older. Exceptions to this may be considered on a case by case basis. Applicants must have completed at least one year of accredited transferable university or college credit with a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or above. † Note: Students who do not have a minimum of 30 credits to transfer into the program can still enrol, but they should expect the program to take longer to complete. Students complete one course (module) at a time for five consecutive weeks and participate in guided independent study. A one-week break follows after each course. Courses run year-round from fall through summer. Each student entering the BA DCP program in the modular format will join a cohort of other modular students. A cohort is a group of adult learners who start the program at the same time, move through the program together, and take the same courses at the same time. Students will be expected to attend all classes and contribute through small group discussions and seminar presentations. Pre-recorded lecture material will be available outside of class time so that much of the class time will be dedicated to discussion, group work, or interactive problem solvi
